Sometimes life just gets us down, and we find ourselves in the pits. What to do?
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
True humility before the Lord merely means surrender. As long as we seek to promote ourselves, we will never amount to much for the glory of God.
But when we turn loose of our lives and willingly place ourselves under the Lord, He will use us for His glory.
Thank God, there is One who is stronger than we are and Who is willing to carry our load.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
When we are burdened, it touches the heart of God and He is moved on our behalf. Give it all to Jesus
